Re: Tooth Fairy (Project) Comes to Hackensack University Medical Center
While I don't necessarily agree with either the purpose or goals of the "Tooth
Fairy Project," I am most disappointed in the responses I've seen on Radsafe.
They seem to consist primarily of attacks on the motivations and competence of
those involved, rather than any semi-professional evaluation of the work or the
issues. It seems that anyone who disagrees with "the party line" is attacked as
biased or incompetent.
This knee jerk response does a great disservice to all of us.
At this point, the TSP seems to be in a data collecting stage. Some
recommendations regarding methodology may be in order, but, regardless of the
motivations of the project participants, they deserve the right to present their
views.
The opinions expressed are strictly mine.
It's not about dose, it's about trust.
Curies forever.
